Mama Elephant-Occasional Labels

Hello again! I’m back with Mama Elephant highlighting the fun Occasional Labels stamp set.Mama Elephant-Occasional Labels & Cloud Nine Creative CutsI used the Could Nine-Creative Cuts to create this fun scene. For the background I used pattern paper by My Favorite Things.
Mama Elephant-Occasional Labels & Cloud Nine Creative CutsWho can resist rainbow raindrops?? I popped each one of those little suckers up with foam tape, too, cuz I like to torture myself, but I just couldn’t resist the dimension:) Lovin’ those sweet eyelashes on the cloud, too. I used a small paint brush to dap Blush ink for the cheek color. I realized that occasionally I need a super tiny ink blender for adding subtle check color. Any suggestions?
Mama Elephant-Occasional Labels & Cloud Nine Creative CutsTo finish it off I added one of the fun sentiments from the Occasional Labels set. This set is so versatile and always looks great on any design. That’s all for today! Thanks so much for stopping by!

New 💗LOVE💗 Collection!

Hello friends! Love is in the air over at Simon Says Stamp💗 Their new LOVE release just went live and I couldn’t wait to share a couple of projects using some of my favorites with you.
SSS-Picture Book Unicorn & Love BearIt’s no secret that I adore the Picture Book dies by Simon Says Stamp. There are getting to be quite a few now and I love every single one of them. Just when you thought they couldn’t get any cuter…they did! The Picture Book Unicorn and Love Bear are completely irresistible.
SSS-Love BearI used some Pebbles pattern papers from my January Card Kit along with one of the Nested Circle dies to frame the Picture Book cuties. I added an embossed sentiment from the Best Friends set.
SSS-Picture Book UnicornFor the Picture Book Unicorn I used more Pebbles pattern paper and a sentiment from the CZ Design Yay set. For fun I added an embossed sentiment on the inside of the card also from the Yay set and die cut with one of the Nested Circle Dies. I’m so tempted to make about ten more of these unicorns in every color of the rainbow🌈
